Research Progress Report

My original question I wanted to answer through research was...Do skills from L1 transfer to L2? Which do? Which do not? What about interference? After consulting with Dr. Seloni I took her feedback and changed my question to... How do teachers teach literature skills in L1 and L2 in content based classrooms? I will look into teacher training, 3-4 main issues or key arguments, and debunking some myths. Being completle honest, I have not acheived much yet. However I have found some relevant articles/references. One is as article from Language Learning and Technology entitled Computer Assisted Second Language Vocabulary Acquistion by Peter J.M. Groot. I specifically refers to what transfers to a certain degree in it's beginning. Another article is the Transfer of Comprehension Skills from native to Second Language by James M Royer and Maria S Carlo. It is taken from the IRA's Journal of Reading from March 1991 volume 36 no.6. It speaks directly towards what I am interested in looking at. And lastly I found Reading-Writing Relationships in first and second language by Joan Eistherhold Carlson and Patricia Carrell in TESOL Quarterly V.24 Issue 2 p. 246-266 from the SUmmer 1990. It seems a little off topic but may be helpful. I wonder if I can find anyone who is a member of the IRA and has access to the professional articles because they have many great ones but I would need to pay to access them and the ERIC database seems to be experiencing difficulty.
